Space Invaders – Review

April 1, 2000

Unlike the infinitely superior Pitfall 3-D, Space Invaders has nowhere to go, no storyline to expand on, and no concept to perfect.

Quake Arena – Review

April 1, 2000

Quake offers an opportunity seldom seen in peace time: meet interesting, new people and kill them.

Medal of Honor – Review

April 1, 2000

A tense, engrossing, historically and ballistically accurate first person World War II commando game destined for the top ten lists.

Intellivision Classics – Review

April 1, 2000

30 most popular games of that system resurrected for the PlayStation game platform, all compiled onto a single CD. Most of the games don’t translate well.

G.G. Allin – Res-Erected – Review

April 1, 2000

More clown than rock’n’roll animal; abuse of the audience and himself was his schtick, like a Gwar show, but with real blood, piss, shit, and a lotta laughs.

Funny Looking Kids – Picture Day – Review

April 1, 2000

Superfast punk with way snotty vocals and, dear God, skapunk, luckily from the flutter-picking, Skanking Pickle-end of the pool.

Funeral Oration – Discography – Review

April 1, 2000

Great melodic punk with a singer who has a smooth delivery and distinct vibrato somehow evoking Jello Biafra and Roy Orbison while being unique unto itself.

Fu Manchu – King of the Road – Review

April 1, 2000

Well-constructed, well-arranged rock songs driven by huge, fuzzed-out, ridiculously downtuned guitar riffs and a pummeling rhythm section. And cowbell.

For Love Not Lisa – The Lost Elephant – Review

April 1, 2000

A good grunge rock band that should’ve hit the big time like the other Seattlers. A collection of the band’s old unreleased/rare material with four new songs.

Fishsticks – Disko – Review

April 1, 2000

Thirty-plus songs pounded out in fifteen minutes kick the shit outta Anal Cunt’s silliness, but fall short of the mindless brilliance of early Gang Green.
